摘要:
A particulate water absorbent resin is obtained by polymerizing an unsaturated monomer so as to form a cross-linked polymer hydrogel and drying and pulverizing the cross-linked polymer hydrogel, and plural classification steps different from each other are carried out so as to remove fine powder. In this manner, the present invention provides the method for classification of particulate water absorbent resin which method allows particulate water absorbent resin having a desired particle diameter range to be efficiently obtained at low cost while securing the high productivity even in case where a larger production equipment is used.

[SOLUTION] A production method for a water-absorbent resin, comprising: a polymerization step for obtaining hydrogel by subjecting a monomer aqueous solution to a polymerization reaction; and a drying step for drying the hydrogel; wherein drying in the drying step is performed using a continuous through-flow belt-type drying machine; solid content of the hydrogel supplied to the drying step is 35% by weight or more, and thickness variation rate (1) represented by the following EXPRESSION 1 of the hydrogel loaded onto through-flow belt in the continuous through-flow belt, is 1.05 to 5: EXPRESSION 1 Thickness variation rate 1 = Maximum thickness of hydrogel in a width direction of the through - flow belt / Average thickness of hydrogel in a width direction of the through - flow belt .
摘要:
A high-speed agitation type mixer of a continuous extruding method including a plurality of agitating members provided around a rotational shaft inside a fixed casing is used to mix and react a water absorbing resin containing a carboxyl group with an aqueous liquid containing, for example, a crosslinking agent that can react with the carboxyl group. The agitating members of the mixer of a continuous extruding method are provided so as to form in the ejection side a second area whose thrusting force is weaker than the thrusting force in a first area in which the water absorbing resin supplied into the casing is dispersed. A device for manufacturing a water absorbing agent is thus offered which boasts good absorbency under pressure and always maintain its excellent performance with end products.

A production of a water-absorbent resin by which a particle diameter of the water-absorbent resin can be controlled simply and conveniently, and a content of fine powder can be decreased, without necessity of change of raw materials or expensive facility investment is to be provided. The method is a continuous production method of a polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water-absorbent resin, comprising a polymerization step of an aqueous solution containing acrylic acid (salt), a drying step of the resultant hydrogel-like polymer, a pulverization step of the dried substance, a classification step of the pulverized substance, and optionally a surface cross-linking step of the classified substance, wherein (a) the drying step and the pulverization step are connected via a storage step and a transportation step; and (b) a time of holding the dried substance from a time of completing the drying step to a time of starting the pulverization step is set at 3 minutes or longer.
摘要:
As a characteristic that had not been known conventionally at all, 'permeability potential under pressure (PPUP)' of a particulate water absorbing agent is regulated, and further, 'range of particle size distribution' and 'coloring' are concomitantly regulated. The present invention is directed to a particulate water absorbing agent having the following (a) to (c): (a) permeability potential under pressure (PPUP) being 50 to 100%; (b) yellowness index (YI) being 0 to 10, and rate of change of yellowness index (ΔYI) being 100 to 150% following a coloring acceleration test for 14 days at 70 ± 1°C and the relative humidity of 95 ± 1%; and (c) particles of smaller than 150 µm specified by standard sieve classification accounting for 0 to 5% by weight, weight average particle diameter (D50) being 200 to 550 µm, and logarithmic standard deviation (σζ) of particle size distribution being 0.20 to 0.40.
